Lost NCIndex (NDF) file to one of my DBs. Can anything be done with just the MDF? Any reads possible at all? I assume not, but figured I'd ask anyways.
I don't think so. The .MDF has what is basically a manifest of all the files it needs for a complete database. If one of those files is missing, like your .ndf, then it won't attach. There may be a third party tool for this but I'm guessing it won't be free or cheap.
